What is evident on the field in his uncompromising tackles, challenging headers, and play-opening passes is reflected in the designs of his own collection through hand-drawn game scenes, heat maps, and other details.<\/p>\n<h2>A Collection With Its Own Signature Style<\/h2>\nThe \u201cArt of Defense\u201d pieces are deliberately rooted in the fashion and streetwear context. The collection positions itself as a standalone brand with artistic integrity and a minimalist, urban aesthetic.<\/p>\nThe line includes a high-quality tracksuit, a black T-shirt for adults and children, a white T-shirt, a cap, and bath slippers as a special piece. They are among Nico\u2019s favorite shoes off the field and were therefore included in the collection as a personal statement.<\/p>\nAll other pieces also embrace the \u201cArt of Defense\u201d theme and express Nico\u2019s personality and unique playing style through their details and design.<\/p>\n<h2>Available Now<\/h2>\nThe new \u201cArt of Defense \u2013 Inspired by Nico Schlotterbeck\u201d collection is now available in the <a href=\"https://shop.bvb.de/en-de/bekleidung/kollektionen/nico-schlotterbeck?utm_source=bvben&utm_medium=news&utm_campaign=int_inspired-by-nico&bvb_cid=int_inspired-by-nico\">BVB online store<\/a>\u2014while supplies last.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https://shop.bvb.de/en-de/bekleidung/kollektionen/nico-schlotterbeck?utm_source=bvben&utm_medium=news&utm_campaign=int_inspired-by-nico&bvb_cid=int_inspired-by-nico\">Order now!<\/a> \n<\/b><img data-assetref=\"inby-3-1789459104262\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/09/15/art-of-defense-schlotterbeck/inby-3.jpg\"><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-3304a94386","prio":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"prio","title":"Prio (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"headline":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"headline","title":"Headline","multiValue":false,"value":"Art of Defense \u2013 Nico Schlotterbeck Launches His Own \u201cInspired by\u201d Collection","exportedType":"text/plain"},"author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","title":"Related Match","multiValue":true,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":"591293848","exportedType":"text/plain"},"displayOnHome":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"displayOnHome","title":"Display in News Wall on Homepage","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"url":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"url","title":"Vanity URL (LEAVE EMPTY FOR AUTOMATIC VANITY URL.
